Why would Google techies care.  However you might point out to Google 
advertisers how many eyeballs no longer get their advertising because
they are on IPv6 connections.

Oh, that's right.  User's probably don't know or care whether its IPv6, 
IPv4 or IPX.  After a while, when the IPv4toIPV6 tunnels and translators 
are overloaded, some eyeballs and content will discover each other gets
better performance going "native."  And it will happen.  Trying to force
it before just makes it grumpy.

The Internet has always been an example of just-in-time engineering.
